Foster Feature: “All in a Day’s Work for Socks” by Natalie Surowiecki, SHS Volunteer

Cats are notorious for napping. In some cases, they have been known to sleep for up to 18 hours a day! This is one of the many reasons that cats make great pets. Socks, the kitty I am fostering from the Seattle Humane Society, is no exception. He is one of the best when it comes to sleeping. He loves to lie in the sun (when it comes out!) and snooze away. And at night, when we go to bed, he is already in our bed waiting for us to turn the lights off.

Socks is a 9-year-old buff and white colored kitty who would make a great addition to any family. He loves to sit and snooze on the couch as well as sleep in the bathroom while you get ready for work in the morning. He is a very loyal and loving cat. We started fostering Socks because he wasn’t eating as much as he needed to stay healthy at the shelter. We hope to continue to foster him until he finds a permanent home of his own.

Do you think Socks would make a nice addition to your family? If so, please call the Seattle Humane Society at (425) 649-7563 to find out how you can bring Socks home today.

Here are some photos of Socks doing what he loves best:
